Array ( [sid] => 57794 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Don't Love or Hate You, Or: A Modern Hamlet [time] => 2004-07-27 17:50:10 [hometext] => My Dad died, six months later my Mom remarried. A lot of anger and this poem resulted. [bodytext] => I know it’s all okay
This pain’s not here to stay
‘snot like this thing I feel
Is really all that bad

This isn’t really anger
It’s more like an unrest
That makes me want to hold you
And pound my fists on your chest

And I don’t really miss him
Just once or twice a night
If he was here you wouldn’t kiss him
‘cause you’ve moved on and you’re all right

I’m not sayin’ this is your fault
And I can act like an adult
But if you really loved him
Can’t you cry a little longer?

I don’t want you to suffer
I know you had things rougher
If you think I should forget him
Then I can be a little tougher

I don’t hate you mom, but I don’t love you now
And the way you’re acting wont always keep me down
One day these wounds will heal and the cuts will seal
And I wont be around to remind you of what you did
If you can’t respect the dead, don’t you expect
To be loved by the living. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 6 [informant] => greasefire [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )
